Newberry County Council had the opportunity to recognize two employees during their meeting on May 21!
Richard “Rick” Farmer was recognized for 10 years with Newberry County as the economic development director. Here is what County Administrator Jeff Shacker said of Mr. Farmer:
“He came to Newberry by way of a varied background — from retail work to driving a tractor-trailer, to working for several newspapers in South Carolina.
“Rick worked for the Richland Northeast Weekly, the Fort Jackson Leader, the Clinton Chronicle, the Index Journal in Greenwood, and the Sumter Item.
"In 1998, he joined the Sumter Development Board. He held many positions with the Development Board as he gained experience in economic development, he excelled in those positions and rapidly advanced.
“Since joining the county 10 years ago, Rick has led a successful economic development and business recruitment effort here in Newberry. The largest announcement during his tenure was Samsung in 2017. There have been many, many other significant investments made in Newberry County during his tenure. We’ve had a number of significant expansions as well - particularly in the past few years.”
Joseph “Les” Bickley was recognized for his 15 years with Newberry County Public Works. Here is what County Administrator Shacker said of Mr. Bickley:
“Les joined Newberry County Public Works Department in 2010 as a driver/operator. He gained proficiency on every piece of equipment in that department and quickly became one of our best drivers /haulers.
“When the role of sign manager came open – Les took on those additional duties, which he excelled at and did a great job of balancing with his driver/operator responsibilities. He also has since taken on maintenance duties at Newberry County Airport and is one of the most knowledgeable members of our staff.
“More recently, Les was promoted to the role of crew leader, and he will no doubt excel at that role.
“Les is dependable, dedicated, and plays an important role in our organization.”
Congratulations to our recognized employees and thank you for your dedicated service to Newberry County!
